Given:

mass of the usain is


m=94\text{ kg}

Acceleration is given as


a=0,\text{ 2.8, 4.86, 1.12, 0.6, 0.51, 0.18 0.19, -0.18, 0}

Required: calculate the greatest and least net forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the force is given as


F=ma

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

to calculate the greatest force

we need find the greatest acceleration in the given table that is


a=4.86\text{ m/s}^2

plugging all the values in the above relation we get:


\begin{gathered} F=ma \\ F=94\text{ kg}*4.86\text{ m/s}^2 \\ F=456.84\text{ N} \end{gathered}

now, to calculate the least force we have the find the least acceleration

that is


a=0\text{ m/s}^2

plugging all the values in the above relation, we get:


\begin{gathered} F=ma \\ F=94\text{ kg}^*0 \\ F=0 \end{gathered}

so least force is zero.

we can se another least force when the acceleration is negative that is


a=-0.18\text{ m/s}^2

then force is


\begin{gathered} F=ma \\ F=94\text{ kg}*-0.18\text{ m/s}^2 \\ F=-16.92\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Thus. the greatest force is


\begin{equation*} 456.84\text{ N} \end{equation*}

and least force is


-16.92\text{ N}
